4183. [cleanup] Use timing-safe memory comparisons in cryptographic
code. Also, the timing-safe comparison functions have
been renamed to avoid possible confusion with
memcmp(). [RT #40148]
(cherry picked from commit 420a43c8d8)
4168. [security] A buffer accounting error could trigger an
assertion failure when parsing certain malformed
DNSSEC keys. (CVE-2015-5722) [RT #40212]
(cherry picked from commit ce9f893e21)
3705. [func] "configure --enable-native-pkcs11" enables BIND
to use the PKCS#11 API for all cryptographic
functions, so that it can drive a hardware service
module directly without the need to use a modified
OpenSSL as intermediary (so long as the HSM's vendor
provides a complete-enough implementation of the
PKCS#11 interface). This has been tested successfully
with the Thales nShield HSM and with SoftHSMv2 from
the OpenDNSSEC project. [RT #29031]
digest length were used incorrectly, leading to
interoperability problems with other DNS
implementations. This has been corrected.
(Note: If an oversize key is in use, and
compatibility is needed with an older release of
BIND, the new tool "isc-hmac-fixup" can convert
the key secret to a form that will work with all
versions.) [RT #20751]
private key file format, to allow implementation
of explicit key rollover in a future release
without impairing backward or forward compatibility.
